So are you working as a consultant now?

Simple. If you are working day & night than your employer does not have time to hire somebody new and train him up to your standard… Besides he pockets a very healthy margin because clients pay him a lot than what you get.
Clients could also hire you as an independent consultant and pay you directly!

Why are you so confident that the previous employer will hire anyone back as a consultant?

Actually the easiest way is to quit your job and let your previous employer hire you back as a self-employed consultant. This way you can work for other companies as well and get paid a lot better…

There are only a few standard ways to make more money: give private tuition, drive part time taxi and start some business on the side. Not easy. If easy, people won’t be stuck in their jobs.

to highflyer: you just insulted too many people. earning a decent amount depends on a person’s capability, and one can approximate “decent amount” with the median numbers in my opinion. but anything beyond a decent amount depends on opportunities and luck. don’t be too happy that you’re lucky at this point in your life.
